SILCHESTER Players: Held yet another successful four-nights' entertainment with Tiptoe Through the Tombstones.

Auditions for the Old Time Music Hall were held on Tuesday, and plans are already going ahead for this next production in October.

GARDEN open: At West Silchester Hall on Sunday and Monday, from 2pm to 6pm. Teas and plants will be on sale.

The garden is in Bramley Road behind the village hall.

BABY Rhyme Time: Starts on Thursday, and will continue on the first Thursday of the month, in Tadley Library, from 10.15am to 10.45am.

PHOENIX Club: The next meeting is on Wednesday, from 2.15pm. The speaker will be Robina Rand, and her subject will be Silchester Common.

Tea will be served, and new members will be very welcome.

FETE: The fete is on June 12, on the common, starting at 1pm.

We have a circus theme, school band, Punch and Judy and a circus workshop.

Admission is free, but if you buy a programme for 20p there is a good chance you could win a portable barbecue set.

BARN dance: Another free event in the marquee, organised by Silchester Association. More details on the band next week.

FUN Run: 300 runners took part in the eighth Silchester Fun Run. 150 booked in advance and 150 on the day. Seasoned runners took the long routes.
